bnrc railroad. has invented q brake called
the Lewis, Automatic Air Brake, wnich
prmises to he q great thing for the young
man. The model was shown TO q nuihpei
of persons a short time since and gave snch
general satisfaction that letters patent were
applied for, and a full-size sample es
made. This sample was compietea .e"
days @ and so confident were the proleo-
tors in the enterprise that a large nuinoei
of railroad officials, master mechan..'
machinists and others were invited 10 wiz
ness a thorough practical test that was
made FRIDAY evening. The invention was
